How to make root over rock bonsai: In this video I am going to teach you that how to make a root over rock bonsai in very small amount of time.In this video I go through the process of turning a bonsai tree into a newly styled Root-Over-Rock style Bonsai Tree. Sometimes it takes a while to get inspiration for a tree, and after years in my collection I finally decided to restyle this ficus into a totally different tree. Traditionally, Chinese practitioners of bonsai incorporated rocks into their designs to symbolize craggy mountains and to help create an entire mountain scene in miniature. Contemporary root-over-rock bonsai emphasizes the dramatic look of the roots themselves. A more balanced approach gives equal emphasis to both the dramatic rock and the draping roots so as to create a unified composition. Be prepared to spend from three to 2-3 years on your root-over-rock bonsai. However, while root-over-rock bonsai is time consuming, you can accomplish it with some relatively simple steps. Bonsai (盆栽, "tray planting" About this sound pronunciation (help·info))[1] is a Japanese art form using trees grown in containers. Similar practices exist in other cultures, including the Chinese tradition of penzai or penjing from which the art originated, and the miniature living landscapes of Vietnamese hòn non bộ. The Japanese tradition dates back over a thousand years. "Bonsai" is a Japanese pronunciation of the earlier Chinese term penzai. The word bonsai is often used in English as an umbrella term for all miniature trees in containers or pots. The purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation for the viewer, and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity for the grower.[2] By contrast with other plant cultivation practices, bonsai is not intended for production of food or for medicine. Instead, bonsai practice focuses on long-term cultivation and shaping of one or more small trees growing in a container. A bonsai is created beginning with a specimen of source material. This may be a cutting, seedling, or small tree of a species suitable for bonsai development. Bonsai can be created from nearly any perennial woody-stemmed tree or shrub species[3] that produces true branches and can be cultivated to remain small through pot confinement with crown and root pruning. Some species are popular as bonsai material because they have characteristics, such as small leaves or needles, that make them appropriate for the compact visual scope of bonsai. The source specimen is shaped to be relatively small and to meet the aesthetic standards of bonsai. When the candidate bonsai nears its planned final size it is planted in a display pot, usually one designed for bonsai display in one of a few accepted shapes and proportions. From that point forward, its growth is restricted by the pot environment. Throughout the year, the bonsai is shaped to limit growth, redistribute foliar vigor to areas requiring further development, and meet the artist's detailed design. The practice of bonsai is sometimes confused with dwarfing, but dwarfing generally refers to research, discovery, or creation of plant cultivars that are permanent, genetic miniatures of existing species. Bonsai does not require genetically dwarfed trees, but rather depends on growing small trees from regular stock and seeds. Bonsai uses cultivation techniques like pruning, root reduction, potting, defoliation, and grafting to produce small trees that mimic the shape and style of mature, full-size trees.

My process is simply very fast.using 5 seedlings together it cuts the time into 1/5.That means with in 2-3 You will going to get a 30 years old looking one.
